What Guests Are Saying
The following real guest reviews may be quoted or referenced in coverage. All reviews are from verified Google Reviews.
"LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BAR!!! They have the wristbands to self-pour drinks but they recently added an AWESOME bar inside! Best of both worlds! Great assortment of drinks to keep everyone happy. Lots of tv's but not too loud. Perfect spot to meet up with a group of friends."
"This is such a great concept. When you arrive, you check in at the bar, open a tab, and receive a RFID wristband. From that point on the wall of taps is at your disposal. The self pour/pay by the ounce system gives you the ability to try beers or ciders you may not normally order. Great place! We will definitely be back."
"What a cool place! I love the idea of paying per oz and trying a little bit of everything or getting my favorites to sip on. The variety was amazing, I loved how they broke it down into sections. Our bartender was fantastic. I can't wait to go again."
"Such a great spot to be able to come in and try a lot of different beverages. You start with a bracelet you scan to pour your own selections and you pay by ounce. The bartender was very friendly and provided details on how to use and where everything was. Definitely a place to stop in and relax while trying a wide range of beverages."
